Thanks, Papa Bones. You now have me thinking of adding a Sod Buster Jr. as a carrier (in addition to a Copperlock).

I carried a Case Sodbuster for a while back in the mid-70's. I never really bonded with it.

First, a rather unique Camillus 72Y Carpenters Whittler. Not only is it like new in the box with the original wrapper and pamphlet, but the pile side of the master clip blade has the 1997 22LR6 tang stamp while the front of the blade has the Double Line Camillus Tang Stamp and the Yellow Jacket blade etch. I will also post this in the Camillus 72 thread.

I also received this piece of Queen ephemera. A Queen Steel #22 Barlow Box that has the display surface with backboard. It is like new, with hardly any rubs. The diecut straps on the box have not been unfolded. I also included a photo of it with my Queen Steel #22 Barlow with it, but I did not unfold the straps.

Three beauties Mark! All very nice, especially the Mcusta.
Thanks for makin' it all possible Mark! ::handshake:: 8)
Smitty that yellow whittler is a sharp looking knife. I like the Barlow display with a Barlow on it.

Stan be sure to let us know how that Fallkniven holds up. The steel sounds superb. I have some Japanese knives made from powdered steel but have never used them.

My new arrival for today was a Case Sod Buster Jr. with crimson peach seed jigged bone covers. Am I becoming a "bonehead" and/or spending a little too much money on my new hobby?

I also made an unboxing video. Until I can figure out that darned embed feature, the link will have to do.

Very nice Dan! ::tu:: Sodbusters are one of my favorite patterns, although, I'm partial to the full-size models, and the covers on yours are stunning. Nothin' wrong with being a "bonehead", and there's no such thing as spending too much on knives! Jus sayin'! LOL! 8)

I've been carrying one off and on since December. For its size, the Sodbuster Jr. really packs a punch. The bone versions are said to be slimmer, but I kinda prefer the fatter handle.

Got these in today.
A Boker Tree Brand 493 Barlow. Excellant Snap on the blades. They have some of their original luster, but are spotted with some small scratches. They don't appear to have any sharpening abuse. Bolsters are tight and handles have no cracks. A nice addition to my Barlow Box.

Also picked up a couple more 2021 Case Copperheads. A 6249CV Deep Red Peachseed Jig Bone, and a 2249 Smooth Black Synthetic handle. Just pulled them out of the box for the pics.

Dan! The significance of the nickel is an old tradition amongst knife buyers/sellers, it's to ensure the relationship isn't "cut" after the purchase, or something similar to that. Thought you'd like to know! 8)
